Chapter 636 Turbulence (Subscribe Please)_1

Now, both the Xingluo Empire and the Sky Soul Empire were without emperors to take charge, both in complete disarray, though the Xingluo Empire was slightly better off. When Xu Jiawei left, he had virtually handed over the throne to Duke White Tiger in advance!

Dai Hao, as Duke White Tiger, said with a sullen face, "Damn it! We've been in the Sun-Moon Empire for a day, and His Majesty the Emperor still hasn't returned!"

Even a fool would know that something must have happened!

The other Daijin also said with ugly expressions, "The Sky Soul Empire has also sent a message saying that their His Majesty the Emperor hasn't returned either, I'm afraid they have all been detained within the Aiyah Empire!"

"Now the Sky Soul Empire is in complete chaos, but our Xingluo Empire cannot afford to be like that! Otherwise, we would be letting down His Majesty the Emperor's hopes!"

"Given the circumstances, His Majesty the Emperor must have been harmed or imprisoned by those people from the Sun-Moon Empire by now. The only one who can hold up the Xingluo Empire now is you, Duke White Tiger!"

"Yes, His Majesty the Emperor made it clear before he left that if he didn't return, you would be the new His Majesty the Emperor!"

"That's right, plus the two Hyper Douluo lurking in the Sun-Moon Empire and the Hyper Douluo sent by the Sky Soul Empire, that's six in total. It's completely unclear how the Sun-Moon Empire calculated against them!"

"Duke White Tiger, it's up to you to take charge of the Xingluo Empire from now on. A country cannot be without a leader for a single day!"

All the Daijin looked at Duke White Tiger with hopeful eyes, firmly believing that he was qualified to replace Xu Jiawei as the new Emperor of the Xingluo Empire!

Dai Hao's face was somber and indecisive. After a long while, he took a deep breath, looked firmly at the Daijin below, and opened his mouth to say, "We still don't know if His Majesty the Emperor has met with misfortune, so I will not succeed to the throne, which would be disrespectful! However, until His Majesty the Emperor returns, I will commandeer all matters of the Xingluo Empire. Does anyone have objections?"

These people were eager for Dai Hao to succeed to the throne, how could they possibly dissent, and all respectfully said, "We have no objections!"

Dai Hao nodded slowly and asked gravely, "Alright! What is the current state of our high-end combat power in the Xingluo Empire?"

A Title Douluo level expert answered solemnly, "Reporting to Duke White Tiger, after dispatching four Hyper Douluo, our Xingluo Empire still has three Hyper Douluo and several Title Douluo within the Sun-Moon Empire!"

Upon hearing this news, Dai Hao let out a sigh of relief in his heart...

Thankfully there were still Hyper Douluo level experts; otherwise, they wouldn't even have a chance to resist!

Immediately, he gave a firm order, "Have all the Hyper Douluo level experts rush to the front-line Soul Master Troops to take command, while the rest of the Title Douluo are responsible for reorganizing the support Soul Master Troops!"

"In the meantime, equip the front-line Soul Master Troops with soul tools as much as possible. If the Sun-Moon Empire launches an attack, we must withstand at least one round of assault by any means necessary!"

If they couldn't withstand even one round of attack, then there would be no point in engaging in further combat...

"Yes, Duke White Tiger sir!"

But no sooner had these words fallen than another Daijin questioned Dai Hao, "The situation is very dire now for both the Xingluo Empire and the Sky Soul Empire. Do you think we should seek help from Shrek Academy and the other sects?"

Dai Hao shook his head and said, "It is virtually impossible to get help from the other sects, as both their Elders and disciples suffered heavy casualties during the Continental Young Soul Master Elite Competition. As for Shrek Academy..."

He pondered for a while, then continued, "Send someone to ask for assistance from Shrek Academy! As long as they agree to help, our Xingluo Empire is willing to pay any price!"

Shrek Academy, whether in terms of soul tools or high-end combat power, was among the top on the Continent!

...

Sky Soul Empire!!

Within the palace, numerous Daijin discussed with worried looks on their faces...

One of the Daijin clenched his fist tightly and said, "What should we do now? His Majesty the Emperor has been plotted against by the Sun-Moon Empire! There's no one to take charge of the situation!"

"Indeed, if things continue like this, we won't just fail to withstand the assault of the Sun-Moon Empire, I fear we will collapse from within ourselves first!"

However, at this moment, a somewhat young Daijin spoke with unwavering conviction, "If no one minds, I am willing to take on the heavy responsibility of commanding the Sky Soul Empire! I will lead everyone in resisting the Sun-Moon Empire's assault!"

After his words fell, the entire hall went silent...

After a while, waves of scornful and mocking voices suddenly erupted...

"You? Stop joking, I'd rather do it myself than let you take charge!"

"Exactly, with your meager abilities, you actually think of commanding the Sky Soul Empire!"

"Stop kidding, alright? This is a national crisis; how could a young fellow like you possibly be up to the task!"

The chastised Daijin, his cheeks turning multiple shades, shut his mouth and no longer spoke...

This was the current state of the Sky Soul Empire, where anyone who volunteered themselves would face the disdain and ridicule of others!

So much so, that up to now, no one capable of commanding the Sky Soul Empire had been selected...

Then, another Daijin spoke with utter seriousness, "I think we should do it like this, since we all don't agree with each other! From now on, we should discuss strategies together and decide by votes."

Though deciding such serious national affairs in this manner seemed somewhat childish, under the current circumstances, there was no other choice!

"I agree!"

"This suggestion isn't bad; I agree as well!"

"I approve!"

Seeing everyone's agreement, he spoke again, "Alright! Then allow me to speak first, the Sun-Moon Empire will surely launch their attack before long. Although through Mingde Hall's efforts, we have managed to obtain just enough soul tools to equip our Soul Master Troop, this isn't a long-term solution!"

"Most importantly, we must unite with the forces of the Xingluo Empire to confront the Sun-Moon Empire. In addition, if we can get some help from Shrek Academy, our chances of holding them off will greatly increase!"

...

Sun-Moon Royal Soul Guidance Device Academy, Mingde Hall!

Lin Jiayi's eyes turned towards Mirror Dust sitting in front, his tone trembling as he said, "Hall Master Hongchen! I've heard that yesterday, the eight Super Douluos sent by the Sky Soul Empire and the Xingluo Empire were all killed, and even the Emperor has been imprisoned!"

"Moreover, Xu Tianran was assassinated last night by powerful beings sent by the other two empires and has perished, and that Juzi seems to have inherited Xu Tianran's throne!"

To be capable of pulling off such a feat, Juzi's scheming was terrifying to the extreme!

Upon hearing this, Mirror Dust's glasses reflected light a few times, expressing surprise, "Oh."

It's likely that Xu Tianran did not die at the hands of the other two great empires, but was calculated against by that woman!

But it doesn't matter, she indeed fits to command the Sun-Moon Empire better than Xu Tianran did!

Moreover, the war is about to start, and it's about time to let the Xingluo Empire and the Sky Soul Empire feel the despair...
